Banned Racist Faces

I like, totally don't get how there's such a double standard! Those kids were expelled for using “Blackface” at their so called “gangsta party” because it imitated African Americans in a poor light, but it's fine for tv to show Black comics doing a “stupid white girl routine” or to portray a “white ho” and nothing is said…

It makes me sad that someone can do something and if I do the same thing, I can get in trouble, not to mention that if I complain about the black person mocking me, I'm suppressing freedom of speech. :(

It's hard to be white these days, especially if you're a girl. :*(

You're looking at it from only your perspective. The reason black/Asian/Hispanic comedians "get away with" making fun of whites is because they attack whites from a lower position on the social ladder. Poor folks who make fun of George Bush is percieved as using comedy to equalize the playing field. While it would be percieved as rude and tasteless if Bush were to mock poor people (coming from his elevated status).
No I dont think it's not fair at all and this is coming from someone of mixed heritage.
